Nineteenth Floor No. 37 IT'S THE HIT DOG THAT HOWLS. A Texas Train Porter Protests When a Brick is Cast in His Direction. Ft. Worth, Tex., Aug. 14,1917. Mr. Nick Chiles, Dear Sir: As I am a porter, I feel that I should say something to the cuticleism by someone of our race that did not have the backbone to attach his name, and I think if the one that wrote this should be classed with the coward and cur that wants someone to plead for his rights that he paid for. Well, he is like the majority, always wants somebody to do something for him that he should do for himself. No he pays fare and don't get the service that he should have he wants the porter to bow to the manager and tell him if he don't give the Negroes that tide over the road better service we will quit. He is not got manhood enough to tell the managers of the road they are not getting their rights and demand them. They want the porter to do it. When you hire a man you tell him what you want him to do. You hired him for a porter, suppose he came out and to manage your paper, what would you do with him? And we are compelled to work where they say and if our colored brother would take it up with the proper authority they would be doing the right thing. No they jump on the porters that are helpless. They are even afraid to speak to the conductor, let the Negro porter come in he wants to eat him up. There has never been a time that I have not done all in my power to make it pleasant and comfortable for my people that was possible to be made and I don't think you treated us porters just when you allow someone to come out and you front page the article attached to this letter. You should have made the accuser attach his name to it, and for our little forty-five dollar salary we work hard for it and it is not on our part that we are not getting more or not on the end of the train as flagmen. You are not any more proud of the U. P. than we are of the division that allows our race to fill both head and rear end positions on their trains but it is none of their demand that caused them to occupy the place they no Respectfully yours, H. C. REID, Train Porter, 1615 Elm Street Topeka, Aansas Aug. 27, 1917. Mr. H. G. Reid. 1615 Elm Street. Fort. Worth. Tex: My dear sir: I received your letter a few days ago with editorial attached from The Plaindealer on the subject of "Negro Traim Porters" and in reply will say that I am not surprised at the stand you take in reference to the editorial, living where you do we know that you cannot express yourself as a man, and you probably would not if you could. There are some men of our race who will not defend then women or themselves if they had the chance and there are others who do not know how. This editorial was written for the purpose of calling the attention of the public, the railroad officials, the train workers and crews to the treatment that is accorded, colored passengers and especially colored women. It is the duty of all men whether white or black, in or out of service to pay proper respect to women. This needs no order from the general manager or division superintendent, for it is the standing rule of all roads that their employees on passenger trains give proper attention to all passengers, therefore we need not write a letter of this kind to the officials unless it is to call their attention to the fact that the men do not perform their duty. I have ridden on the different roads in Oklahoma and have seen the conductors and colored porters assisting white women on and off trains and colored women forced to get off as best they could, and it is your duty as colored men to complain to the official about the treatment of your women. If you allow another man's wife, sister or daughter to be treated in this way, the same will be meted out to your family. The sooner such a man will put honor, pride and manhood above dollars the better it will be for the race. Now we have plenty of backbone to call your attention to this matter and it was not necessary that we attach our signature to the article—we could have, but thought you would be intelligent enough to know that the article was an editorial and as such was written by Nick Chiles. I hope you will take this matter in good spirit as we do not mean to bellittle the train porters but it seems that they need a little rubbing up. I prepare you are speaking for the train porters in the South as a whole and I hope you will convey this message to them for it is our desire to build up and help men so employed. We have seen white brakemen on Southern tonds leaving their lanterns for colored porters to clean. This is wrong and shows the contempt with which the white fellow workmen look upon the colored workmen, in the same capacity and the colored man will allow this white man to look down on him as his inferior. How no road in the West or North would stand for such treatment for the men would quit their jobs first. If a white brakeman's lantern should happen to be dirty and the proper signal could not be given, all the blame would be placed on the colored porter. If you colored train porters were men and would study your interests, you should yourselves be brakemen instead of $15 a month porters with more or less increase in wages but no advancement in positions. Yes, you are for the most part in the rabbit class, a lot of cowards afraid of your jobs, do not defend yourselves or your women, grin and speak disrespectfully about our race. When you learn to take a man's stand and demand the rights for your race as the whites demand, then you can complain about what we say with reference to your conduct in the South. The Topkaka handdealer and its editor are your friends and we are trying to help you, and we shall write the runge and complain about these things but we need your assistance. Oklahoma WOMEN'S CLUBS HOLD A GRAND MEET. Orluges, Olla'a, Sept. 3.—The second annual session of the State Association of Negro Women's clubs was called to order by the president, M. Judith C. Horton, in the auditorium of Duluth high school, Thursday, Aug. 30, 1917 at 10:00 a.m. Sally delegates brought reports that were corroborated and creditable. It is interesting to note that 't' clubs are doing many things to improve the educational and social life of the colored people in their respective communities. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president of the National Association of Colored Womens' clubs lectured the second evening of the meeting to a very large audience. Mrs. Talbert is an interesting speaker. She has faith in the race, and tells her people to live up to lofty ideals. She will visit several towns in the state and lecture. The State Federation is a contributing member of the N. A. A. C. P. and voted to become a sustaining member of the Douglass Memorial Association by paying $10 annually. Oklahoma is the host, who will be next? At the close of the session Mrs. Judith C. Horton was re-elected unanimously to serve a third term. SAYS MINISTER MISINFORMED PLAINDEALER MAN. Columbia, Mo., Aug 28, 1917. Hon. Nick Chiles. Editor Plaindealer. Dear Editor: We noticed in the last issue of your paper an article about the conditions existing in Maryville, Mo., As teachers in the public school in Maryville we wish to say that Rev. J. D. Wells misrepresented to you the conditions about the school work and our interest taken in the community along musical and all other avenues that tend to upbuild the community. We have in our school curriculum a primary course in music, also a own victoria given to the school by the Mother's club which we organized. We have also on our own volition placed wool-work for the boys and sewing for the girls in the school and many useful pieces of furniture and clothing were made last year which were exhulted at our closing. We also presented to the church (A M E) a beautiful $8 Bible and organized a choir of which I am at present president of. Our door is always open to any friend or stranger that comes to Maryville and we feel not an injustice has been done about our work in Maryville. We do not lame you because you were misinformed. We wish 'ans letter published in your paper. Thanking you in advance, we are respectfully yours, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest O. Brooks, Jr. WINFIELD, KAN. Mr. D. G. Palmet, who lives north of the city, is harvesting a very large alfalfa crop. Alfalfa is worth money these days. Editor Nick Chiles attended the Masonic Grand Lodge. He was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Montgomery. Among those who attended the Association at Garden City were Rev. W. J. Brannon, J. W. Jackson, Miss fosse Montgomery, Mrs. Will Husan and Mrs. Chas. Walton. They count a splendid session. Mrs. Walter Phoenix of Emporia is visiting at the home of Mrs. G. V Nichols and attending the Grand Lodge. Mrs. Thomas Cotton and children, Alm, Alice and Blanche, went to Junction City to visit the Smoky Hill District Association and then to Kansas City Mo., to visit relatives and friends. The Masonic Grand Lodge closed to forty-seventh annual session here last Friday. The session was a success in every respect. The local committee did good work. The lodge is grateful to the people of the city for their kindness in helping care for the delegates. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING SEPT. 7, 1917 OUR FRIENDS IN COOL COLORADO. OUR FRIENDS IN COOL COLORADO. The Editor Finds a Happy, Prosperous People in all Parts of the State. We just returned from a visit with our subscribers at Peabody and Wichita for a few hours, and after attending the Masonic Grand Lodge at Winfield we visited the Rocky Mountain country, stopping at Colorado Springs, Denver, Pueblo, Victor, Cripple Creek and La Junta Col., then back into Kansas to Garden City Dodge City, Kinsley and Great Blend. COLORADO SPRINGS. At Colorado Springs we were the guest of our sister-in-law, Miss Willa Smith, and our daughter, Miss Thelma Chiles. Colorado Springs and Manitou are beautiful cities and great health results, and we met a great many colored tourists from the South, especially Oklahoma and Texas. The amenity here is fine; you are right under Pike's Peak, and the nights are very cool. Here is located the preachers' home of the A. M. E. church, of which Rev. and Mrs. Braxton have charge. This building is situated on a beautiful spot overlooking Colorado Springs and right in view of Fike's Peak. It is a thirty-room building with basement and hall and is nicely furnished. Rev. and Mrs. Braxton deserve great credit for securing this home for the broken down ministers of the A. M. E. church and it is to be gratified so little concern is given the home by the Fifth Episcopal district, which should take charge of this home and pay Mr. and Mrs. Braxton a sufficient salary for the service they render. The colored people of Colorado Springs seem to be doing well. Many are buying homes. Our old friend Ned O'Bannon is still at one of the largest drug stores there, and while he is not feeling the best, we hope soon to see him regain his health. Mrs. Arnicho's Williams of Kansas City, Kan., our daughter, is visiting her nunt. Mrs. Lucile Jordan, the gay widow, is still there and says she is still waiting for some good man to show up. We met Mr. Albert Bryant of 524 Klowa, who is a Topeka young man, has a family of four children and seems to be doing well along that line. Ex-President Roosevelt will need to see him soon. Mr. and Mrs. E. Ward, formerly of Langston, Okla., own nice property on Klowa street and are doing fine. Mr. Ralph Motley, formerly of Nashville, is doing well and is holding down a good position. Our old friend W. A. Smith is still at the Exchange National Bank owns good property and is making good. Our old friend F. A. McAdams, formerly of Fort Scott, is still employed at the barber shop. His boys are doing fine, one being an instructor of music at Tulsa, Okla. Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Long, formerly of Chanute, recently moved to Colorado Springs. DENVER At Denver we were proud to note the fact that notwithstanding the fact that the Democratic party is in the saddle in Colorado they have never failed to recognize the colored people. The legislature made a large appropriation for the colored National Guard and two companies have been organized, one at Denver and one at Pueblo. The company at Denver is encamped at the rifle range, under the command of Capt. Faulin. The boys are uniformed and armed and have all the appearance of old regular soldiers, and are drawing $30 to $200 a month. The Pueblo company is encamped at Lake Manewa along with the white National Guards and the boys are doing guard duty. This is commendable, and there is no reason why there should not be colored National Guards in every state where colored people are in sufficient numbers. We have tried many years to get the same thing in Kansas but have never convinced the legislature, but after the war probably they will are the need and the good to be obtained from a colored National Guard. Denver is a beautiful city and there are many colored people, and they are getting all the work they can do. There is one drug store and a number of restaurants owned by colored people. Mr. Victor Walker has a large hotel, beautifully furnished, all modern, which speaks well for Denver, as in most cities there are no fit places to accommodate the colored people. We visited our old friend, Mr. Joe Rivers, editor of the Colorado Statesman, and his wife, and found them both on the job. Mr. and Mrs. Rivers are certainly a great help, not only to the colored people of Denver, but of the West. They are pioneer newspaper people of that country and the success of the colored people who have gone there is largely Plaindealer due to these people, who have always had their columns open to promote the interests of the race. They have a nice job office in connection. Bre. Joe and wife are both looking fine and we hope for them a long and successful life. We also visited the Denver Star, which is under the management of Mr. Ross, and we understand that the paper is now going into the hands of a stock company. This paper also has a nice job office. The greatest hustler we met in Denver was Mr. Fred S. Burton, who represents one of the largest oil companies in the West and has sold several thousand dollars worth of stock in the past year. This snares that a young man can do who has the gift and energy. He was for several years in the dining car service of the Burlington Railway company and decided that he had the ability to do other things, and he accepted this position with a white company and has proven to be one of the best salesmen they have. If you are interested he will give you the best ideas on how to invest in stocks and bonds. His office is at 1837 Annaphoe. We met our friend W. H. Graham and wife, who live at 2809 Welton. Mr. Graham is now and has been on years employed in the railway mail service, and is one of the best men in the service. His fun is from Denver to Ellis, Kan. He is also a composer of music and has written some of the finest music sent out by any composer. Mr. C. W. North, formerly of Topeka, wrote the words to one of his latest pieces. We met our old friend Mr. Chas- Hawkins. He is employed in the Pullman service, and has a fine fam- ily, a wife and four children, who are his heart's delight. They reside at 2008 California Mr. Hawkins is also a carpenter and a fine mecha- nic. His daughter Hazel is a fine little girl and has a sweet voice. She is only ten years old and sings like a nightingale. One of the songs she sings is "In Love's Sweet Summer Time," composed by C. W. North and set to music by W. H. Graham, both Topeka boys. Her father pays the piano while she sings. Mr. Hawkins is the son of S. P. Hawkins, builder and contractor, of this city. We met Rev. J. P. Howard of 2013 California, formerly of Kansas City, Mo. Rev. Howard is a noted evangelist and has done a great work over the country. We were sorry to learn that he had been partially paralyzed and we glad to know that he is recovering. His family is there with him. We met Revs. Ward, Williams and Overt, who are all Kansans and are making good. Their churches are in fine shape and they have fine congregations. Rev. Ward is very proud of his wife, who is a great Christian worker and has charge of the Y. W. C. A. work. He says we never have to worry when he gets about finding a minister to take charge of his church, as the current office on the services and does almost as effective work as he does. Rev. Ward is a highly cultured man, coming from the East, and the colored women would rally to as they should they will have no gret for the future, Mr. and Mrs. Ward are a happy couple and always like it pleasant for their friends, they have a nice modern church with arsonage in the rear. Rev. Ward is succeeded in paying off a large amount of the indebtedness that was in the church where he took charge. We were proud to meet our old lend A. D. Butler, one of the finest workmen in the West. He is empl oyed by the Dry Climate Roller Co., which makes the best rollers in his country, and all are made by Mr. Butler, and he also makes ink. The use should be proud of Mr. Butler, he is a good, solid, reputable citizen who stands for something in Denver. We shall hereafter buy our ink and rollers from Mr. Butler. We met Mrs. Dan Williams, mother-in-law of Mrs. Arnoldis Williams, who was at that time spending two weeks with her. We met Mr. and Mrs. James Wilson, formerly of Ottawa, and found them doing fine. Mrs. Wilson is raising chickens, as she did in Ottawa, but they seem to have a liking for their old Home. Their daughter Myrtle was recently married to Mr. Solon Fox of Kansas City, Mo. She has gone to Denver to live and her husband will follow soon. Mrs. A. D. Burdine is one of the leading catereses of Den er and has all the work she can do. She has a position in one of the largest confectioneries and catering houses in Denver. She has a beautiful daughter, Miss Dorothy, who is in high school and is destined to become an accomplished woman. We met our old friend Mrs. Dick Dyer, who is still in the dressmaking business. Mrs. Wm. Hayes is a popular caterer and is a beautiful man industrious young widow and is very independent, but if some good man would call around and prove himself worthy he would find a good helpmate. We visited the state house and found that they have sexual colored men in the various departments, one as messenger to the governor. The Juniors there receive $72.50 per month and are not worked to death in Kansas, where they only receive $60 per month. We met our old friend Mrs. We met our old friend Victor Walker, who holds down a desk in the secretary of state's office and is one of the leading politicians of Colorado. He is a race man, and when it comes to dealing out jobs to colored people he does not look at their politics, but any man whom he thinks he can help and will good he remembers. Lawyer E. P. Blakemore, formerly of Wichita, has opened a law office in Denver and is making many friends. The colored people of Denver are very proud to have him case his lot with them. We visited some of the business houses and found colored people holding good jobs. There is a demand for colored help in Denver at good salaries for the right people. We meet one of our subscrocts, Mr. L. II. Brooks, who is head dispenser at the Dutch Mills. This is a high class place where the eldest people meet. Soft drinks of all kinds, fine lunches and confectionery are sold. Mr. Brooks has charge of the soda department and employs twelve young colored men who mix drinks while young white girls dressed as Dutch maids serve the patrons. Mr. Brooks was born in Illinois. He has held this position several years and does the buying and manufacturing of most of the ingredients used in this department, hires and discharges all the help in this department. He is a fine young man, highly cultured and has never been married, but says if he can find the girl who suits he will make up his mind to marry. He expects to come through Kansas this fall en route to Illinois to visit his mother, and if he should chai meet a young lady who suits his fancy something will be doing. We were glad to see Mrs. Geo. Buford and her daughter, who are located at 929 East 23rd street. They are formerly of Topeka. Mrs. Buford is looking well and her many friends here will be glad to know that she is enjoying life. We met Mr. John Wood, another of our subscribers. He is a bachelor, has a large bank account, but has never met the lady of his choice. We also met our friends, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Greer, formerly of Topeka and still own good property here. Mr. Greer is employed on a special car with the general manager of the Denver & Rio Grande Railway company. We visited the Episcopal church of which Father Brown is rector. Father Brown is very popular with the people of Denver and Colorado. His friends say there is no doubt that Cupid is working hard and that some day some beautiful young maid who lives somewhere in Kansga will wound his heart and cause him to change his way of living. (Next week we will tell more about our Colorado trip.) READY TO BEGIN. Industrial and Educational Institute Open Tuesday.
